Update important documents after a divorce:
Couples who get divorced face many important issues: How to divide property, how much spousal support to give or pay, and if children are involved, who will get custody of the children and what visitation rights the other spouse will have, Attention paid to these issues can cause a person to forget to update important documents the divorce affects. Here are some of the main documents to review and consider updating if you are recently divorced:
You may have made a will during your marriage or before. Since your family circumstances have changed, you may want to change how your property will be distributed. Also, if your spouse was named as executor (the person who will administer your estate during probate), you may want to name a new one.
A Will can easily be changed. You can prepare a new will or, you can prepare a "codicil" which amends your existing will. Please call family law attorney Scott Stadler at (954) 346-6464 for a free consultation.
If you have a living trust, you should review it to see if changes are needed regarding who will receive the property and who will manage the trust. Many living trusts are revocable and can be changed.
Review your life insurance policy. If you named your spouse as beneficiary, you may want to name a new one.
You may have created a "durable power of attorney" letting your spouse manage your business affairs if you become mentally or physically disable. Or you may have created a "durable power of attorney for health care" letting your spouse to make health care decisions for you.
Powers of Attorney can be changed or revoked at any time while you are competent. However, there are certain requirements for changing them. Please call family law attorney Scott Stadler at (954) 346-6464 for free consultation.
Make sure you ex-spouse is no longer an authorized signer on your bank accounts, mutual funds or money market funds.
If you had credit cards issued to both you and your ex, change them or get new cards issued.
If your ex is an officer of a corporation you own, you may want to designate a replacement and have your ex resign as an officer.
These are just some of the main documents to review and consider updating after a divorce. Legal help can be obtained to review and update these and other documents affected by a divorce. Call attorney Scott Stadler at (954) 346-6464 for a free consultation or write him an email to scott@unhappymarriage.info.

Tips to Prevent Conflict with your Ex:
Change the subject: If it appears that you are going down that familiar trail of bickering, change the topic.
Keep to your agreements: If you say you will be in time, then do it.
Hold your tongue: Though you may want to blurt out a criticism or a snide remark, restrain yourself.
If its not a deal-breaker, let it go: Sometimes all of us get mired in petty things, when is far better to roll with them.
Consider an alternative plan, possibly a compromise. Seek counsel from a friend or a professional.
Express yourself clearly and respectfully.
